I love zo but the injuries are something else

I’m def team trade ad though. I think he’s peaked as without athletism his game is going to age HORRIBLY. Can’t shoot. Can’t bang down low. He’s still great don’t get me wrong…but the idea is to sell high-ish
 
With our FO, People think if we get rid of AD and Bron, things somehow get better. I don’t get it.
 
I’m rolling with AD and Bron for the time being.

Do what you can to fix the role players around them and let the chips fall where they may

Why though? They both can't stay healthy.
 
Somehow committing to a rebuild with no assets or picks makes sense to people. That ship sailed
Not a rebuild but trading ad for another star. One that will age better. Once ad loses a step. He will be useles. A 19 percent three point shooter, 33 percent mid range shooter and main offensive moves are outmaneuvering slower guys. What if he becomes slow. He’s another ankle roll away from it too

Well we can only get back assets by trading what teams would actually want and that's AD primarily and Bron should he ask out

This. I’m ready to start the rebuild. Not winning a chip with 38 year old as your #1 and a Always Disabled #2 who is supposed to carry the franchise at age 31/32 when Lebron leaves.

AD-L still has good value. Trade high

I want Jeanie to go all in.........and bring in Pat Riley. If that means moving Bron, so be it.

She keeps it in the family, then bring Riley home. Blank check.

They just assume there is very high trade value for Lebron (who we’ll never trade unless he demands it) and the same player our own fanbase calls Always Disabled.

Utah is like the only team that would potentially be in that mix and even then I’m not sure

catch-22, you're selling for pennies on the dollar since they're old and/or have injury issues. just gotta let this mess run its' course.

Deng off the books, check :hat

Even if I was cool with a trade, both guys coming off injury filled seasons aren’t going to have the same trade value they would have of healthy. Bron can be a FA next summer and AD the summer after that so you would basically have to trade them to a team of their choice because no one’s going to give up much for guys who can walk in a year or two.

But I’m not cool with a trade, unless you think they won’t extend/re-sign. Even though this season was a struggle, we also saw Lebron and 3 or 4 players who weren’t even in the league at the beginning of the year basically compete at times with some of the best teams in the league. So upgrade the surrounding pieces and take your chances.

I can look around the league at most other contending teams and see the potential for injuries…Nets w/ KD, and Kyrie…Clips w/ Kawhi and PG… Warriors w/ Dray and Klay … so I don’t see any reason to panic and blow it all up.
 
Coming into the Bron era I was skeptical and if they got 1 I'd be happy. I know everyone else wants to discount it but I'll take it, especially the same year we lost Kobe.
That Laker team was pretty dominant from the get go. It’s not like they came outta know where with a Cinderella run to win it all.

All the noise trying to discrete the bubble title = hater talk 😂

Nothing is promised but I’d like to run it back if possible. Which is kinda what I’d expect anyone on the team to say, except someone who was buried on the bench. But we’ll see if this quote gains any legs by the am
 
Utah is like the only team that would potentially be in that mix and even then I’m not sure

I don't think that's true at all. Bron old but he is still a money maker. AD definitely would have a robust market.
